> And if foreign journalists want to get into Palestine, they have other options...

First, they don't. All crossings are controlled by Israel. There's a reason why you have a lot of foreign reporting on the ground from Syria civil war and nothing from Gaza. (I noted your switch from Gaza to Palestine, btw) And journalistic agencies complain about this repeatedly.

10% of journalists killed (against 2% of total population killed) and ratios of killed/injured certainly suggest special targeting.

So here, have a blast and count for yourself based on your definition of collateral damage: https://cpj.org/2024/05/journalist-casualties-in-the-israel-... there's a story/sources there for every single killing that is known/documented.

To me, it looks like majority were killed intentionally based on that list. Things like sniper and other direct fire killings, being killed in their homes along with their families when doing nothing but dinning or sleeping, or at assignments, or in front of hospitals near journalist tents, or being denied medevac after critical injuries, is not how I'd define collateral damage.
Whose burden is it to decide what counts as a claim, and what we get to take for granted?
I think he/she is reacting mostly to this quote from the article, not to the main article topic:

> I have a good answer: my job is to double our value-add capacity over the next three years. Essentially, to double our output without increasing spending.

> You know what? With my XP plans and the XP coaches I’ve hired, it’s totally doable. I think I’m being kind of conservative, actually.

TBH, this part felt off to me as well.
Ooh...

Admitting that I've done zero checking of this "agent"'s security - any AI that's replying to people's emails, at scale, is just begging for malicious parties to try to game - to make it help them perform password resets and all sorts of other lucrative mischief.
For a auth product, you probably should go with traditional code generation, not LLMs (re: all the unsolvable problems they have (hallucinations, incomplete code answers). For an auth product, you want something definite and reproducible, or you are asking for trouble.

If you are interested in a flexible code gen framework, I built one that had this very use case in mind. (https://github.com/hofstadter-io/hof)

I'd be happy to think / talk this through with you
That begs the question ... How did you come up with that plant database ?
> Considering the sitation in ukraine, we've wasted a lot of money and a lot of ukranian men for what exactly?

The alternative is that Russia rolls over Ukraine, murders between few hundred thousand and few million people to enforce the occupation, and then decimates Ukrainian male population by using them as cannon fodder against Poland and other European countries. Please explain me how this is any better.
If they didn’t, then they’d ensure these players would literally never buy a PlayStation.

Also, what they were doing is outright illegal in Europe.
My most used tool is a command line script I made which takes copied text input and applies some formatting to it, with flags that control what exactly is done. The primary use-case is formatting text from Excel documents/csv into SQL lists or table inserts. It's saved me tens of hours at least in the ~year since I completed it, maybe more.
Ask HN: What made you realize LLM is more than next word prediction?
For me when I found out LLM could generate code without compilation errors I realized its more than next word prediction.
In some countires, e.g. the UK, creating a PSN account apparently requires sending Sony a copy of your ID. Given Sony's stellar record of not getting hacked this quite naturally doesn't sit well with some people.
I have an MBA, and spent years as a Product Manager.

There is much snark on HN about MBAs and PMs being useless. I read those comments with curiosity to understand what I might learn.

Those commenters' experience is not universal, but neither is my own. Some of the comments might be based on virtually no evidence, but that's probably not the majority.
I am all agaisnt censorship, but I am ok with gagging the guy screaming fire in the theather. 90% fake news outlets fall into that category.

As an positive counterexample, US recently reduced federal funding for the program which manages CVEs [1]. There was/is risk of CVE data becoming pay-for-play, but OSS developers have also pushed for decentralization [2]. A recent announcement is moving in the right direction, https://medium.com/@cve_program/new-cve-record-format-enable...

The CVE Board is proud to announce that the CVE Program has evolved its record format to enhance automation capabilities and data enrichment. This format, utilized by CVE Services, facilitates the reservation of CVE IDs and the inclusion of data elements like CVSS, CWE, CPE, and other data into the CVE Record at the time of issuing a security advisory. This means the authoritative source (within their CNA scope) of vulnerability information — those closest to the products themselves — can accurately report enriched data to CVE directly and contribute more substantially to the vulnerability management process.

> solution will be for one company, probably Microsoft given their ownership of GitHub, to step in and become undisputed king and single point of failure for all open source development.

A single vendor solution would be unacceptable to peer competitors who also depend on open-source software. A single-foundation (like LF) solution would also be sub-optimal, but at least it would be multi-vendor. Long term, we'll need a decentralized protocol for collaborative development, perhaps derived from social media protocols which support competing sources of moderation and annotation.

In the meantime, one way to decentralize Github's social features is to use the GH CLI to continually export community content (e.g. issue history) as text that can be committed to a git repository for replication. Supply chain security and identity metadata can be then be layered onto collaboration data.

Oh boy there’s plenty of incorrect information on SO, even occasionally fully upvoted “official” answers
Vision Zero rules are that you either need physical separation or a speed limit of 30 km/h. 30 km/h is approximately the threshold where the vast majority of vehicle-pedestrian collisions aren't fatal.

They've chosen to lower the speed limit rather than add bollards.
Once we legalize MDMA that will pick right back up again!
Oh.

When I said "you can pick any point P", I meant universal quantification, i.e "for all points P", rather than a randomly chosen P.

I did say "choose P", which was pretty bad phrasing on my part.
Nice write-up! This is a great example of throwing out "best practices" and being truly user/product-centred. Even down to your trial strategy.

It reminds me of YNAB's trial[^1] strategy of offering 34 days. It gives folks just enough time with their app and process. I wish YNAB's trial extended to ~60 days since my "ah ha!" moment was only around then. That's another conversation, though.

Can't we continue to use StackOverflow as normal? Wouldn't that normal use case (using the web page) be unencumbered by any AI stuff?
That's the goal. But you can't get there, under our current system and circumstances, without some DEI-like anti-filter. It's not either-or; "Measure diversity of thought," is step #2, after, "Counteract the social gravity of tribalism in its myriad forms."
>That means that power and wealth gets concentrated into hands of a small elite

It is with some restraint that I note that "democracy" per se does a piss-poor job of preventing this, when Tim Cook's net worth exceeds the yearly GDP of the Seychelles. This is particularly true in a world where capital controls information channels, and therefore public opinion. To really prevent capitalists from capitalizing on their capital to amass ever more capital, you also need a social infrastructure that redistributes wealth away from powerful individuals back to society, so that social issues can be addressed.
Point taken, but I'm not the competition here
>I did my research before letting coffee loose on my body.

Was this research similar to you drawing conclusions about nicotine based on the handful of your friends that vape?
Awesome! Feel free some or all.

Few of my queries you mostly answered elsewhere in your replies about images and how you get the data.

How did you determine which plants to list? Is it just a database of all the unique plants from all sources or just a general plant database?

I see each plant shows price + x stores, does that mean you are archiving the prices and not scraping real time? How are you determining the time interval for that?

How are you handling wrongly or typo listed plants from your sources?

Since you mentioned this is using next and django, what are you using shopify for?

Are you an affiliate for most of them or nothing like that so far?

Sorry I don't really have any valuable feedback apart from what everyone mentioned, Search is really slow.

"But so much is image-driven in our influencer culture nowadays, and so little is substance."

Fun fact: it even applies to horticulture.

Ever been to a garden center, and seen those nice looking, bushy coffee plants? Shiny leaves, a label saying "Coffea Arabica" and all?

Well... they're not. More exactly: those "plants" are "bushes of plants", each fighting for survival against their bros & sistas 1/2 cm. next to them.

When these are grown, 6 to 10..12 (yes, coffee) beans are planted in the same pot. A single coffee plant looks rather thin & uninteresting. And that single specimen could be too likely to not survive (for growers / garden center's taste). So what to do? Put a bunch of 'em in the same pot, nice & bushy, buyers will like that look.

Never mind that's not how a young Coffea Arabica looks like. Or that an image search online will mostly turn up those distorted-reality groups-of-Coffea in a tiny pot. Or that most coffee plants are in fact, large bushes (like 1.5~2m tall for easy harvesting, much taller if left to grow unimpeded).

For the record: I don't mind the Coffea-as-fashion-item aspect. Or that you get ~10 plants for the price of 1. But I do mind the distort reality, "what is it what you're selling?" aspect. I have yet to see a label on one of these pots explain there's a number of Coffea's in there rather than just 1.

As the article says: this is all too common nowadays. It's almost as if [what's underneath] is irrelevant.
If you want to be the only customer of a service, and have them do exactly what you want, you can foot the entire bill.
I sell a JS/TS graphing library, so B2B, developer-to-developer.

We decided to just have an indefinite trial period (library has a watermark) and instead offer 30 days of free support. That way we can help people get started and realize their proof of concept, but if they want to start evaluating on their own time they can do so without worrying about any clock. This makes it much easier for customers who are trying to evaluate multiple options at once.
Even if it hurts the devs, it’s a warning sign for other devs to not sign contracts with Sony.
I've skimmed this, it makes no sense to me. There are some graphics. There are things like this:

> The ISS genomes exhibited an average of 4568 genes, a significantly higher count than the average of 4416 genes found in the Earth genomes.

Yes, 4568 is a significantly higher count than 4416. But if I took samples of this bacteria from different countries, would I see a similarly significantly different count? I've no idea.. is this even significant without this sort of comparison?

I watched the video too. This really is just a bunch of stock footage, with the same info as the linked NASA article.

Do others find this info to be compelling of anything? It seems that this could be a PR piece of some sort, for 'space science'. I don't get the significance.
A few years ago I made something similar. It doesnt go all the way to ppo, and has a different style.

Okay! Super cool! I will check it out and reach out if needed. You are right in that i can't fully rely on LLMs. We will of course have several tests + line by line code review done for the generated code.
Play it on Linux.
My team is responsible for the research, evaluation, approval, integration, and on-going support for each and every single platform that is within our stack. We have a lengthy standardized process for evaluation/scoring/approval and one of our mandates is a minimum of 30 days, no payment, and no Sharewaresque limitation in functionality. If we cannot get 30 days, it's a simple 'no,' and we move on to the next.

Even at 30 days, it's extremely stressful on the team to get the system up and running, ingest our test case data, and run our tests. This is after going through this process >100 times. There's simply no way to get everything that needs to be done with an evaluation of even basic coverage in less than 30. Full stop.

Lack of adequate understanding of the potential challenges an org is going to face during implementation and use is, IMO, the single biggest reason implementations run WAY OVER budget, time, and eventually fail at integration w/the rest of the org. This is entirely ignoring the required change management, which is another beast entirely.
So, if I want to share my displeasure with a product I shouldn't show this displeasure with reviews? WTH? How companies will get feedback from their customers without reviews?! How customers would share their experiences with one another? How prospective customers would be informed before buying a product?

Well, no, the point was that they sold it under certain conditions and then retroactively and unilaterly tried to change these conditions.

Accidents happen, even to safe drivers. But you could make the roads virtually fatality-free by lowering speed limits and shared roads to 30km/h (20mph) and enforcing that speed limit.
They did willfully sign a contract with Sony. Game devs need to think about who they’re using as a publisher.

If Sony was willing to take them on, then probably a ton of other publishers were too.
Freedom of the press is typically considered one of the tenets of a democracy. The vote becomes meaningless if voters cannot be informed, which includes having access to all possible points of view.

Having both can often be the ideal situation. It’s also really dependent on what the debt is, how is it being serviced…etc. For some people, not having any debt at all is extremely liberating, and that benefit outweighs any of the benefits of getting marginal returns.

It’s a comment on enterprise software’s development pace
I'm pretty confused by all this! Ie why they are set up like this. Example: All STM32 dev boards have two USB ports: One connected to the USB periph; one to a built-in ST-Link (JTAG). You flash and debug/print to CLI off JTAG, and use the USB one if your device needs to communicate with a PC etc during operation, or if you want to use DFU flashing for production boards or firmware updates.

If you are designing a board, you will probably always have the JTAG pins broken out to a port of your choice, and use an external debugger. Wire USB A/R.

The USB dev boards for C3 seem to all have only a UART bridge USB, and no JTAG! That is confusing because A: I'm not sure if this is a full-up USB peripheral for use as serial (But maybe not HID? Maybe it presents as USB-serial to the PC, but you program it on the MCU like UART?), and B: Why JTAG isn't table-stakes for a dev board.

I ended up buying a "C3-Rust" devboard, because it was the only one I found that had JTAG USB! (I am coincidentally using Rust, but that's only superficially relevant)
I honestly don't know what point you're trying to make.

I said bollards along sidewalks -- that's literally where they go.

Perhaps you don't realize that roads and sidewalks predate
cars? Before cars, streets were full of horses and carriages (and manure). Children were taught to be extremely careful because horses could kick or trample them and kill them.

Streets and sidewalks weren't an invention of the automobile era.
Yes. It's called moderation, and it's what we were doing for decades.

The problem is that multiplayer game servers aren't run by players anymore; which means they aren't moderated by players anymore. Game studios have monopolized the responsibility of moderation, and tried (utterly failed) to replace it with a rootkit.

Mantis: Interleaved Multi-Image Instruction Tuning
Hyper-individualism leading to a nihilistic worldview.

Individuals absolutely should have autonomy to choose what they wish to do, but not if it has an impact on the rest of society.

Fundamentally, some amount of regulation (either via social norms or via actual laws) is needed, yet we as individuals will continue to fight each other while ignoring the core fact that we are all on the same team.

I strongly disagree with Wang and Xi, but on this part I am in agreement - individualism has gone too far in America (both economically and socially), and we need to return to our communitarian roots.

> We limit corporate-related speech all of the time. You're not allowed to threaten employees with termination for not enduring illegal activity, for example. You're also not allowed to advertise in certain ways in certain industries: a great example would be the ban on cigarette ads on TV, or the strict regulation around pharmaceutical ads.

Yes, you’re not allowed to do things that violate the law. That applies to individuals as much as corporations, though. But that is quite different from restricting someone from expressing an opinion.

> His speech isn't limited, FWIW - he's allowed to say it, but the company he works for may suffer operational or economic consequences for it. He won't personally go to jail for it.

The problem is not that the company may suffer “operational or economic consequences”. That could be true regardless of what he said, or whether he said anything at all. The problem is that the government is punishing the company for his publicly expressing an opinion. Even if you disagree with his opinion or find it distasteful, that should disturb anyone who values free speech.

That's old school marketing. Sony knew this wasn't going to be popular, you release bad news on Friday and good news on Monday.

IMO not really, liberal democracy isn't that worthwhile/threatening - despite what US/LIO crowd likes to tell themselves. Many US partners in MENA are authoritarians with high income/comfy life. It simply pays better for many to align with hyper hegemon interest and be in good graces in last 50 years. Liberal democracy is only threatening in the sense it's open to US elite capture, US having inserted itself deep into political superstructures of many countries early on, turned some LIO, i.e. US being wealthy hegemon is good at influencing/shaping elites who knows it pays well to be aligned with US interests. Whether authoritarian junta or a crown prince or demographic politician, the latter just tends to be much poorer and easier to influence/capture. At end of the day prepositioning US hardware in their backyard using local geography to collect intel and do containment is much more threatening to their actual interests than spreading LIO ideology/values which semi competent state power can restrain.
Interesting! 25 business days for a business is close to 41 calendar days, too. I wonder if there's some sort of common, human constant involved. 25 days of engaging with something to decide whether that something is worth keeping around. Maybe the median relationship length is 25 days, too...
